For seven decades Norman Rockwell captured the essence of the American spirit, creating art for magazines (more than 300 Saturday
Evening Post covers), children's books, calendars, and advertisements, heartwarming and poignant images that touch us still.
Norman Rockwell traces the evolution of the artist and his craft through his paintings, sketches, and photographs of him at
home. And, of course, there is the artwork itself; the diverse array of full-color reproductions here represent Americans
at work, at play, at home, and fighting for the Four Freedoms during World War II

"'Normal Rockwell's subject is average America' ... These words from the text by Thomas S. Buechner, distinguished director
of the Brooklyn Museum, explain Rockwell's enduring charm. And this volume, with is superb reproductions, including two, three,
and even four-page spreads and foldouts in full color, finally does justice to an artist whose works have most often been
seen only in the impermanent mediums of magazines and calendars. The author discusses Rockwell's life and career, from his
early training, through the development of his mature style, to his recent interest in the major social issues of our time
... Thanks to his exhaustive study of Rockwell and his work, Buechner is able to draw a lively word-picture of an extraordinarily
interesting personality -- who also happens to be a unique phenomenon in the history of art -- and places him in the great
tradition of the story-telling artists of the past ... This rich collection provides an unparalleled panorama of nearly sixty
years of American social history, seen from Rockwell's enormously popular point of view. A full index of the works by category
helps to make the volume an invaluable addition to the history of American illustration."--Jacket

The very best of America's favorite American artist - at an unbeatable price. Norman Rockwell's works have always enchanted
America with their clear-eyed and humorous picture of life in the country's heartland: here are the very best of them, from
the Saturday Evening Post covers to The Four Freedoms, a series of paintings done during World War II. Every image still exudes
its fresh charm, unsullied by sentimentality: Santa, napping as the elves scurry about him and finish Christmas preparations;
Grandma placing a large Thanksgiving turkey on the table, surrounded by her smiling family; a mother, stepping out of a slightly
run-down apartment building with arms joyfully outstretched to greet her son, newly returned from the war. From the deeply
personal to the political - a black child being led to school by US Marshals in the early days of integration - every piece
retains its fascination. Thomas S. Buechner, a distinguished former director of the Brooklyn Museum, examines Rockwell's style,
technique, and development, placing him in perspective as an important force in 20th-century art

The text explores the artists' stylistic and technical development, their role as educators and designers and their work in
the context of European art since the Second World War. The book tells the fascinating story of how their art thrived in spite
of the political constraints of the former Czechoslovakian state. Ironically, without their connections with industry and
government their work would never have achieved its scale
